Mitchell’s guest, Paul Schweitzer does not own a smartphone or a computer. But, as the owner of Gramercy Typewriters in NYC, a business inherited from his father 58 years ago, he is surrounded by hundreds of typewriters. Celebrities, authors, students, young professionals call on Paul for repairs…and perhaps another addition to their collection. (Tom Hanks is on this list.) Mitchell and Paul talk about the emotional attachment people have on their machines, and more, on this episode of The Literary Life with Mitchell Kaplan. Recorded at Books & Books in Coral Gables, Florida.
